My tip for "Reifenberg Castle": You can also come to the tower on weekdays (very pleasant, without the hustle and bustle). You can borrow the key for a deposit at the nearby hotel "Haus Reifenberg".

A detour to the Reifenberger castle ruins is always worthwhile just because of the great view.

@Markus, for your information: On weekends and public holidays (except in winter) the tower is usually open between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. I was only able to check this again today 👌😎
